I don't like the feature, so I don't use it.
Maybe that will change in the future, but I just ignore it when I set my scrimmage lineup.

I agree that I would play safe if I know I am going to win the game and keep the minutes under control.

However, I would use GDP feature for cup games in case that the opponent is much much stronger than my team.

I'm a bit worried if guessing right will change "expected results" (=without guessing) remarkably.
In my last scrimmage without guessing, I should have lost a lot. (65672459)

- I lost every single team rating
- Opponent had much better ratings for players
- no HCA
- End of the game I played with two lucky fans, probably without fouls, I would have even won....now I lost after OT
- Okay, patient seems to be good tactic for my SF, I guessed both right; inside, fast

Now I would like to see "penalty" of guessing wrong....how big change for "expected result". Also we must find out if guessing pace and offense have same kind of impact.

Well, it seems like all the fast paced offenses are the most dangerous. R&G,LI, and even PTB. So I will probably just guess fast pace every game and leave the Inside/outside one blank.

Exactly, It is quite easy for most of teams to switch from LI to Low Post. Skill distribution is quite close. I think it is much more challenging to switch from LI to some other than inside oriented offenses, like patient, princeton, motion. Thats why I think better option could be selecting offense, not pace.

What ill do about this: Since i have 5 beast multiskilled sf's ill buy 2 weak defensively but strong offesnsively minded centers, so i can run any tactic offensively ill always guess inside tactics and fast pace. Guys will try to run inside against me because they would had no choice( well theoricly they have to run agaionst 17 od or 12 id:D) but they will run LI since defence there is non egzisting and this will force them to lose games.
So basicly what this feature does: if you smart you can have big weakeness defensively anywhere and you can compensate this with tactic quessing. If your oponent smart he used to have advantage by forcing right tactics where ur defence is weaker. but now he wont have advantage hell have disadvantage. So basicly this is again punushing good teams and rewarding bad and imbalanced ones.

I think that's too simple
If you have a major disadvantage in the defensive players you use
there's only so much you're going to get out of guessing right
Great big men will crush yours no matter what you guess

Come on guys. Dont focus on the "Luck" thing. This feature will make the game more realistic as basketball teams really do this. They study there opponents and they prepare for it.

In the game sample from before, (65374460), the team in Chinese characters had made a GDP-bet on Outside and Fast - both were wrong, as Wonder Team played Outside Isolation (neutral focus) and Man to Man (normal pace).

Just to make sure there isn't confusion, both guesses are made on the offense your opponent is selecting. The team in Chinese characters got their predictions wrong because outside isolation is normal paced, not because his opponent played man to man.
Here's another example of a scrimmage I had where I guessed normal pace, and failed because my opponent played look inside, even though they played man to man (65407952).
